PATB soundclips?

Re: PATB soundclips?

I dont know but, I guarantee they will not do the pickup justice like all sound clips IMO.

What kind of music are you looking for? I have a patb-3 and might be able to help a brother out.

Classic Rock to Metal...it would go in the humbucker position of a HSS Bolt hardtail (alder w/ maple neck and ebony fretboard).

I'd prefer a moderate output pickup as I want it to clean up well. Also, I want a pickup that tilts to the warm side (not mega-warm, just enough to compensate for the bright guitar).

The PATB3 DOES make a bolt on neck strat type guitar sound pretty much like a good Gibson. Maybe not Les Paul but at least SG....
Great all around bridge pickup.

Uhh, not to be a gremlin in the works but, I think the PATB-series were primarily made for floating trems; to compensate for string spacing and the chunk of wood that's missing. It's non-adjustable pole spacing may be to wide or just plain off for your hardtail, and/or the tone may be to strong for your axe - and not in a good way.

I may be wrong in something but I thought you should know.

I assumed since it's a trembucker the only requirement was string spacing at the bridge of which my guitar needs F or trembucker spacing.

That's true.. but by the special way the PATB poles were designed, it doesn't really matter what the spacing is, it'll pick it all up properly. The guitar I have it in is an HSS hardtail strat - no routing out of the back for spring cavities.
